Description
This scholarly work examines France's complex path toward the Second World War, moving beyond simplistic interpretations of national confidence to reveal the paradoxical coexistence of conflicting moods throughout the interwar period. The book argues that France's drift into war and eventual collapse resulted not from a single psychological state, but from competing visions of the Republic and competing strategies for ensuring national security. Early chapters dissect the tensions embedded within French interwar foreign policy and address the historiographical debates among scholars seeking to understand the French experience. Subsequent chapters analyse tensions in defence and economics, providing readers with a comprehensive exploration of how ideological conflicts, strategic disagreements and institutional pressures shaped France's trajectory toward war. Part of the Making of 20th Century series from Red Globe Press, this work offers both a detailed historical narrative and an interpretative framework for understanding one of Europe's most pivotal moments.
